Dr. Drollette is an environmental forensic scientist specializing in complex environmental chemistry problems at the nexus of empirical data and fate models. He leverages his background in environmental analytical chemistry and contaminant fate and transport analysis in a wide range of consulting areas. From contaminated site assessment, emerging contaminant liability evaluation, response cost allocation, and more, he advises clients on risk mitigation, regulatory compliance, and litigation support matters.
Dr. Drollette applies his expertise in chemical forensics across many industries and contaminant classes, including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), petroleum, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), natural gas, chlorinated solvents (PCE, TCE, and degradation products), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dioxins and furans, metals, and more. He has worked on matters involving large contaminated sediment CERCLA sites, petroleum refineries, offshore oil spills, manufactured gas plants (MGPs), coal ash basins, military sites, dry cleaners, and chemical distributors, among others. He also has significant experience applying and interpreting chemical forensic techniques paired with contaminant fate and transport models for source attribution evaluation.
